To Enable Operators to Control OVO Agents
By default, only an OVO administrator is allowed to start or stop OVO
agents on the managed nodes through the OVO GUI. However, operators
can make changes to this policy by updating OVO Status, which OVO
provides (in the Application Bank) as a preconfigured OVO application.
To enable operators to control OVO agents, follow these steps:
1. From the menu bar, select Window:Application Bank....
The Application Bank window opens.
2. Select the application OVO Status from the Application Bank.
3. Copy the application with Actions:Application->Copy.
4. Rename and modify the application:
a. Change the application attributes as follows:
Application Name: OVO Agents Start
Description: Starting of OVO Agents
Application call: /opt/OV/bin/OpC/opcragt -start
$OPC_NODES
Start on Target Node List: Leave field empty.
Executing user: root
Password: Leave field empty.
b. Select [No Window] (for example, X Application) from the option
button.
c. Click [OK].
5. Select the application OVO Status from the Application Bank.
6. Copy the application using Actions:Application->Copy.
7. Rename and modify the application:
a. Change the attributes as follows:
Application Name: OVO Agents Stop
Description: Stopping of OVOAgents
Application call: /opt/OV/bin/OpC/opcragt -stop
$OPC_NODES
